Matelo: Photo Borders

Keep the whole moment.

Matelo gives your photos room to breathe. Add clean borders, soft blur or a background color that belongs with the picture. Choose a shape, apply one look across a batch, and share new copies with every edge of the original intact.

A SHAPE FOR EVERY SHARE
Choose familiar names, including Instagram Square, Portrait, Landscape and Story / Reel, Pinterest Pin and YouTube Thumbnail. You also get Tall Portrait, Classic Photo, Standard Landscape and custom ratios. Matelo exports still photos; canvas shape and export resolution are separate choices.

ONE LOOK. EVERY PHOTO.
Style up to five photos together for free. Set a shared ratio and background, then adjust individual photos when they need a different touch. Keep the whole photo, or crop, rotate and position it. Reorder your batch and return to locally saved projects.

BACKGROUNDS THAT FEEL RIGHT
Add black, white or custom-color borders. Soften the background with blur, or choose Auto to match a color from each original photo. Automatic matching happens on your device and is included free.

COMPARE YOUR CREATION
See Original and Edited side by side when there is room, or switch between them in the same preview. Check the untouched imported photo against your current edits, including individual styles. Compare is optional and included free on iPhone and iPad.

A STUDIO THAT ADAPTS
On iPhone Duo with iOS 27.1 or later, partially fold your device to place the preview above or beside the controls. Your selected photo and edits stay with you as the layout changes. Opening or closing the device never turns comparison on automatically.

MAKE IT YOUR OWN
Preview 18 premium frames across Paper, Instant, Film, Gallery and Creative collections. Explore Double Mat, Shadow Box, Corner Mounts, Postage, Washi Tape and Split Tone, alongside paper, instant-photo and film-inspired looks. Premium frame exports and paper backgrounds require Matelo Pro.

YOUR FAVORITES, REMEMBERED
Set your default frame width, padding, ratio, background and export choices once. New batches start with those settings, even after you close the app. Reset to factory defaults whenever you want; existing projects keep their edits.

READY TO SHARE
Export JPEG, PNG or HEIF in Social size or Native detail. Choose sRGB or Display P3 for SDR, or preserve HDR highlights from HDR originals in HEIF. Save copies to Photos or share files with other apps. HDR appearance depends on the display and receiving app; large export dimensions depend on device capacity.

FREE TO START
Five-photo batches. All ratios. Clean borders. Solid, blur and automatic backgrounds. Compare, Duo Studio, persistent editing defaults, local projects and every export format. No watermarks. No ads.

A LIFETIME OF PRO
One optional purchase unlocks all 18 premium frames, paper backgrounds, saved presets and batches with no app-imposed photo-count limit. Large batches depend on available device storage and processing time; receiving apps may have their own limits.

One-time purchase. No subscription. Preview premium styles before upgrading, or switch to free styles when exporting. Restore your purchase using the same Apple Account.

YOUR PHOTOS STAY WITH YOU
Edit on your iPhone or iPad, without creating an account. Your original library photos stay untouched.
